Find the domain that's specific to you.

Protect your domains and privacy.

There are people on the web who are always trying to steal your domains and personal details

Privacy Protection

Keep your private details private.

As soon as you register with GoDaddy or any other registrar, your personal information is displayed in a public directory. Hackers and spammers often use this to compile email lists and steal domains. Harsh, but true.

When you add Privacy Protection to your domains:

We replace your name and contact details with our partner company's, Domains By Proxy. No one ever sees your name, address, email or phone number but us.

You still control your domains and all email addressed to them as well as the right to sell, renew or transfer them. Your domains are still 100% yours.

You may sleep better knowing your personal information isn't on display to the whole world.

Business Protection

Keep your domain locked & in your name.

Let's say you forget to renew your domain. Or you change the email address on your GoDaddy account. This is all it takes for someone to step in and transfer your domain name away without your permission.

But put Business Protection to work on your most important domain names and they'll be safe for up to 12 months.

Business Protection:

Blocks both accidental and malicious domain transfers.

Keeps your personal details hidden from snoops and crooks.

Publishes an online business card so customers and partners can find you.

Your questions, our answers

Why do I need a domain name?

A domain name can serve as your distinct identity on the internet. If you want to promote yourself, your brand, or your business, a specialized domain name is essential. A domain that is tailored to your needs will make you look professional and capable and can boost your presence on the we so you get noticed.

Absolutely! Our domain name search tool can assist you by offering suggestions and alternatives to any domain you search. If you're still having issues or just want some guidance, our world-class, support team is available to help lead you towards the best domain name possible for your business or personal use.

Is there a limit on how long or short my domain can be?

Typically, there is a limit to a domain length, with the minimum being 1 character and the maximum being 63 characters. Ideally, you want your domain name to accurately reflect your brand, whether it's personal or business-oriented. We provide some guidelines for picking out a great domain name

How do I check if a domain is available?

In order to check whether a domain name is available, type it in GoDaddy's search bar or look for it in the WHOIS Domain Lookup. You can try our Domain Broker Service, where we negotiate acquiring the domain from its current owner. We also offer a Domain Backorder service, where you purchase a backorder credit to give you a chance to get the domain when it goes into auction.

Can I purchase any domain extension?

A handful of domains will have restrictions on them, which means you can only purchase them if you meet or exceed certain criteria or have authorization (some examples are .gov, .edu and .mil). But most extensions are available to everyone. In fact, most country code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) are available for anyone to purchase, even if you don't reside in the country code in question.
